Why teams connect SAP and Ukg Ready

Sync the workers, org structure, and cost centers that SAP and Ukg Ready share in real time, so the people Ukg Ready manages stay current in the system that runs finance and operations.

Ukg Ready is the system of record for people: who was hired, which department and location they sit in, who they report to, and how they are paid. SAP runs finance and operations, and much of what it does depends on that same information, from booking labor cost to approving an expense report to staffing a project. Where the two are bridged by re-keying or an overnight file, each side spends the day out of step, with new hires missing from the systems they need and leavers still active where they should not be.

Stacksync syncs Cost Centers, Business Partners, Materials (Products), Sales Orders in SAP with Reports (Report-as-a-Service), Employees, Employment / Positions, Compensation in Ukg Ready field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, so the people side stays authoritative for worker data while SAP keeps its own accounting and operational detail, and every change made in one is reflected in the other within seconds instead of at the next batch run.

Common use cases

  • 01 Keep MES and WMS systems aligned with production orders and goods movements.
  • 02 Expose sales order and delivery status to customer portals through a synced Postgres database instead of direct SAP access.
  • 03 Mirror Cost Centers/Groups and Compensation into finance and planning systems for headcount and budget reconciliation.
  • 04 Two-way sync Employees and Employment/Position records with an operational Postgres database so internal apps and IT provisioning read job title, department, and status in SQL while HR edits in UKG Ready.

Common sync patterns

Where Ukg Ready runs payroll: labor cost in the books

Pay and compensation data from Ukg Ready posts into SAP as labor cost, so finance sees workforce spend without re-entering it by hand.

Where Ukg Ready is the worker system of record: one employee master

When a worker is hired, moved, or offboarded in Ukg Ready, the matching employee record in SAP is created, updated, or deactivated, so the business system reflects the workforce as it actually is.

New hires ready to transact in SAP

A new person set up in Ukg Ready becomes an employee record in SAP in time to submit expenses, enter time, or approve a purchase, without waiting on manual setup.

What you can sync between SAP and Ukg Ready

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

SAP objects Ukg Ready objects How this pairing syncs
Cost Centers Controlling masters read for mapping costs in finance integrations. Reports (Report-as-a-Service) Scheduled IBM Cognos extracts used for bulk historical pulls that the per-employee REST endpoints are not built for. Cost Centers is specific to SAP and Reports (Report-as-a-Service) to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Business Partners The unified customer and supplier master in S/4HANA, the anchor object for CRM and procurement syncs. Employees Core person records (demographics, contact info, status, work location); synced two-way and mapped to HRIS or person tables in a database. Business Partners is specific to SAP and Employees to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Materials (Products) Item master with plant and sales views, synced to commerce, PLM, and CRM systems. Employment / Positions Job title, department, employment type, hire and termination dates; read for org modeling and written when roles change. Materials (Products) is specific to SAP and Employment / Positions to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Sales Orders Order documents written from external channels and read for status and fulfillment. Compensation Salary or hourly rate, pay frequency, and FLSA status; often mastered elsewhere and written onto the employee record, or read into finance. Sales Orders is specific to SAP and Compensation to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Purchase Orders Procurement documents synced with supplier portals and spend tools. Timesheet Entries Time-and-attendance punches, hours worked, and breaks; written from external time systems and read into warehouses for labor-cost reporting. Purchase Orders is specific to SAP and Timesheet Entries to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Outbound Deliveries Shipment documents synced to WMS, carriers, and customer portals. Accruals / Time Off PTO balances, requests, and approver status; read for liability reporting and requests can be created against employee records. Outbound Deliveries is specific to SAP and Accruals / Time Off to Ukg Ready — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between SAP and Ukg Ready

Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.

SAP Ukg Ready Sub-second propagation

DetectionSAP notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Business events via SAP Event Mesh on S/4HANA.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Ukg Ready through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Ukg Ready SAP Sub-second propagation

DetectionUkg Ready notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. UKG Webhooks for select events (employee.created, employee.updated, account/org changes) with HMAC signing.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to SAP through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • SAP: Throttling is configured at the gateway and tenant level rather than as a single published rate limit.
  • Ukg Ready: Rate limits apply over roughly a 1-minute window and return HTTP 429 when exceeded (back off / exponential retry); UKG Webhooks run on a tiered quota with a free tier around 10,000 event notifications per month and 14-day event retention.
